Left turn at Allerton. A woman in the crosswalk. She didn’t make it home.
District 13: Jan 1, 2022 - Dec 5, 2025
Just before midday on Nov 13, an 80‑year‑old woman crossed Allerton Avenue at Holland. Police recorded the driver turning left and failing to yield. She died at the scene (NYC Open Data).
This Week
- Nov 13: A driver in a 2005 Honda sedan turned left at Allerton and Holland and hit an 80‑year‑old woman who was crossing with the signal; she died. Police listed “Failure to Yield” for the driver (Open Data crash 4858140).
- Nov 7: On the Bruckner Expressway, a 53‑year‑old motorcyclist suffered an amputation; police cited driver inexperience (Open Data crash 4855695).
The toll on these streets
Since Jan 1, 2022, District 13 has recorded 18 people killed and 4,062 injured in traffic crashes. Among the dead: 6 people walking and 2 on bikes (NYC Open Data).
In the past 12 months alone, 6 people were killed and 1,203 injured here. Crashes rose to 1,600, up from 1,324 the year before; injuries rose from 866 to 1,203 (NYC Open Data).
The harm does not come at random hours. Deaths spike late—11 PM is the single worst hour—and again in the morning rush. Injuries pile up all day (NYC Open Data).
Corners that keep hurting people
Bruckner Expressway is a repeat site in this district: 2 deaths and 509 injuries. Hutchinson River Parkway shows 2 deaths and 258 injuries. Bronxdale Avenue has 7 serious injuries tallied in its crashes (NYC Open Data).
At Allerton and Holland, police marked the driver’s “Failure to Yield” in the fatal left turn on Nov 13. The record lists left turns like this again and again. Hardened turns, daylighting, and longer walk leads at these corners can slow drivers and give people walking space to live (NYC Open Data).
Who is responsible to act
Your Council Member is Kristy Marmorato (District 13). She voted yes on bills to speed removal of derelict cars and add dooring warnings in taxis (Int 0857‑2024; Int 0193‑2024). She also called congestion pricing a “cash grab,” as the program launched to cut traffic and fund transit (amNY).
Albany gave the city authority to lower speeds. The fix is simple: set a safer default and stop the worst repeat speeders. Our plan is laid out here: lower speeds citywide and require speed limiters for habitual offenders (Take Action).
What must change now
- Slow left turns at proven danger points: hardened centerlines, daylighting, and longer pedestrian leads at Allerton, Bronxdale, and along Bruckner.
- Target late‑night danger: enforcement and lighting where deaths cluster.
- Citywide: lower the default speed limit and require intelligent speed assistance for drivers who rack up camera violations (Take Action).
One woman crossed with the signal at Allerton and Holland. The driver turned. The numbers say it will happen again unless someone stops it.
Do one thing: Tell City Hall and Albany to act now. Start here: Take Action.

Jul 18 - Thirteen Bronx leaders push for public say in Cross Bronx Expressway overhaul. State eyes new road. Critics warn of more traffic, more pollution. No final call yet. Residents left waiting.
NY Daily News (2025-07-18) reports thirteen Bronx officials urged Governor Hochul and the state DOT to boost community input on the Cross Bronx Expressway redesign. The state may build a connecting road across the Bronx River to keep traffic moving during bridge repairs. Critics, including environmental and transit groups, say this would widen the expressway, bringing more traffic and pollution. The officials' letter asks the state to 'fully consider' options without the new road. DOT spokesman Rolando Infante said no decision has been made. The $900 million project includes capping sections with parks and green space.
